for mitt romney a very different mitt romney. that's what we saw in this debate. mitt romney most of the time his hands are down at his sides. he used gestured to get his point across and the use of emblems to bring home a he message. check please. if he had three points, he'd say one, two, three and lay it out for us. very active and aggressive and pushing his agenda forward. the president on the other hand when we saw that foot up, we call that a sprinter's pose. he's ready to go and move toward forward. it's off balance and out of sorts. we saw that from the president through his debate. >> chris, the looking down for obama. i mean, it's well established at this point that they used the split screen shot for presidential debates. you're always on the camera, and he has romney tearing into him cart clai articulately, and obama looks like a defeated man. >> we're talking about body language. itself it means nothing but the perception means nothing. in that position where his head is down, he's writing down notes. he did it a lot, looking down occasionally or to j

the second possibility is, you know, something goes wrong for romney, he actually loses this debate. obviously that would be terrible for him now the third possibility, to be honest, probably the most likely one is nothing happens it is pace basically a draw, maybe 90 minutes of dull and boring television if that happens, the status quo in this vase affirmed. the status quo in this race has been a steady, stub burn three or four-point lead for barack obama and at that point, romney would be running out of big-moment opportunities to turn this thing around. that's what i'm looking for. here with us now in denver, we have howard fineman, the "huffington post" media group. said he is the buffalo bob of our show. >> now i'm don meredith because don meredith always used to say on monday night football, when the game was nearly over, woe start singing. ♪ the party's over but not there yet. >> bring you back to sing at some point, heward. before we do that, we have another task and i thought howard would be the perfect guy to lead this off. basically, we want to look ahead to this debate

president obama and romney hnz are in the last hours of debate prep before they meet tomorrow for the second presidential debate. it should be a monumental evening in this debate. hofstra university in long island, new york is hosting "the cycle's" only town hall style debate with undecided voters asking the question which may or may not be augmented by candy crowley. this is the most direct since george h.w. bush, bill clinton and ross perot started the tradition 20 years ago. this time obama needs to find his mojo and not seem like he doesn't want to be there. campaign aides vow this time you'll see a more fiery obama. for romney it's his chance to he break a six-year stereotype he's too rich and out of touch to relate to the voter. even aas he dominated the first debate he lagged 29 points behind obama when voters asked if he connects well with ordinary americans. let's bring in our guess dana "captain crunch" millbank. interesting tough from nate today. national numbers go one way and state numbers another way. he said if you're not nervous or thrown off by the numbers, you're not

obama came in the first debate, four points up with everybody ready to write romney off. in the last week we've had democratic panic and despair. you can see from the reaction of many people, the performance that biden gave last night, it showed democrats around the country, yes, there's something on the ticket who's still willing to fight for this thing. it gave them the hope that the obama thing will be an aberration. we'll see a different obama. that's fine. can this ever be something that's transcended? bringing undecided voters into the obama fold, maybe switching people around. does it work outside of the democratic base? i don't really think it does. i was thinking about why. i think a lot of it has to do with a lot of the themes that biden pressed, a lot of the themes democrats liked to see biden and hear biden pressing last night. don't necessarily have automatic resonance outside of the democratic base. i think for biden to bring it up, very effective with the base. i don't think he bro ut that up and walked the audience through it in the way the casual viewer w
